You'll get a progression which playes 2-10 songs in each step before going to the next genre.MusicBee plugin that updates your Discord status with the currently playing track Installation Create a playlist based on the Master Playlist #2 above, and sort it by the comment field you created in #4.ĭon't shuffle. For example, I selected all my Rock songs, sorted them by length, and split them up to 3 sections (D, J, S) - this also means you shouldn't get too many of the same artist back-to-back.ĥ. Don't put all your new age songs in "A new age" but split them around to later on in the alphabet. The alphabetical progression of however you want the flow to go is critical. Use "A new age" "B blues" "C hard rock" "D heavy metal" etc. Create a custom field or comment for each of your tracks. I've created an ugly but quite workable hack:Ĥ. IOW, it would start with a few mellow songs, go to alternative, then to rock, to metal, back to hard rock, blues, new age, etc. The idea is to take the above, and have a gentle rotation of genres for the times when I'm not in a mood for anything specific. My current project is WIP, to create a dynamic "radio" station. Total playcount is not a solution, as that will skew the results between newly added tracks and old tracks. A killer MB feature would be to have a field for "# times played in X months" which would allow me to drop a track from the rotation when it has reached a limit of plays in a given time period to avoid excessive repetition. The main limitation of this setup is that you tend to get stuck listening to a bit too much of the same tracks - that's why the Salt playlists which add random tracks. It is my preferred listening method when I'm in the mood for a genre. This works extremely well and doesn't require any maintenance. 90s which takes all 90s tracks from Master playlist Blues which takes all tracks from Master Playlist in the Blues genre Create individual playlists with different criteria. on my library of 20k tracks this creates a playlist of ~700 tracks, ~100 of those rated 2, ~400 at 3, ~150 at 4, ~50 at 5ģ.Create Master Playlist collecting all of the above playlist into one. Poor Salt (rating 2, last played NOT in the last 6 months, limit to 100 tracks at random)Ģ.Good Salt (rating 3 or higher, last played NOT in the last 6 months, limit to 250 tracks at random).Seed 2 (rating 2, last played within 7 days).Seed 3 (rating 3, last played within 14 days).Seed 4 (rating 4, last played within 1 month).Seed 5 (rating 5, last played within 3 months).Here my current implementation, hopefully this will be useful. This means that any straight random playlist would play the worse music more often than the great tracks. Rating of 1 is reserved for stinkers I never want to listen again. half of my music is rated 2 (fillers) but only half a percent at 5 (top 100 songs of all time), ratings 3 (best songs of the album) and 4 (best songs by the artist) in between. Grab a cup of coffee, this gets involved Smiley The idea is to play highly rated music more often, and to balance playing of familiar tracks with a healthy rotation of my entire library. I've been in search of the perfect Smart Playlist / Auto-Playlist for years. ![]()
